Internet in Toledo, Ohio

Buckeye nearly everywhere, AT&T fiber at about a third

Buckeye Cablesystem is the one wired network that reaches almost all of Toledo: 99.2% of the city's 102,531 homes and businesses, all of them at 100/20 Mbps or faster, as of June 30, 2026 (FCC revision of November 10, 2026). Ohio is its largest state, with 206,981 locations, and Toledo is the only one of the 343 cities of 100,000 or more where it is the largest provider. AT&T reports service at 81.1% of locations and fiber at 37.1%; most of its remaining footprint is copper DSL or fixed wireless, and it offers 100/20 Mbps at 44.5%¹ in all.

Spectrum and Frontier report service at only 1.1% and 1.4%¹ of Toledo's locations. "Available" here means the provider reports it could install service within ten business days; the reports cover the city limits as drawn for the 2020 Census and can be challenged on the FCC map.

Half the city still has one fast wire

A fast connection is reported almost everywhere: wired service of 100/20 Mbps or more reaches 99.3% of locations. Choice is thinner. At 53.7% exactly one wired provider offers that speed, a share that ranks 60th highest among large cities, against 34.0% across Ohio. At 53.7%¹ of locations that single provider is Buckeye; in most of those places AT&T reports only DSL or fixed wireless below 100/20 Mbps.

The single-wire share has fallen as fiber has spread: it was 76.0%² in June 2022 and 57.0%³ in December 2025. Three or more wired providers at 100/20 Mbps remain rare, at 1.2%¹ of locations.

A cable company turning into a fiber company

Most of the city's change since the first National Broadband Map shows up in two lines moving in opposite directions. In June 2022, cable was reported at 98.9% of Toledo's locations and fiber at 14.1%². By June 2026 cable had fallen to 82.2%, a share that ranks 25th lowest among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more, and fiber had risen by 38.6 percentage points to 52.8%¹.

Buckeye's footprint did not shrink in that time. It still reports service at 99.2% of locations and now reports fiber at 26.3%, with a fastest advertised download of 10 Gbps. Where Buckeye no longer reports cable, it reports fiber instead. Across its whole service area, in 4¹ states, Buckeye's fiber footprint has changed by +119,724² locations since June 2022.

The two fiber builds overlap in places. Locations with two or more different fiber providers rose from 0.7%² in 2022 to 14.9%, more than the Ohio share of 9.0%, and the increase since December 2025 alone was 5.8 percentage points. ACD.net, which reported no service in Toledo in 2022, now reports fiber at 2.6%¹ of locations.

Gigabit downloads everywhere, gigabit uploads only on fiber

Buckeye advertises a 1 Gbps download on cable as well as fiber, so a gigabit download is reported at 99.3% of locations. The FCC's fuller gigabit tier, 1,000/100 Mbps, also requires uploads of at least 100 Mbps, and in Toledo it is reported at 52.8%, the same share as fiber. That is the 32nd lowest share among large cities, below 62.8% for Ohio and 72.3% for the US. At 50.7%¹ of locations the fastest advertised download is 2 Gbps or more. All of these are maximum speeds the providers advertise, not measurements.

Fixed wireless: two carriers and two smaller networks

Verizon reports 5G or LTE home internet at 77.6% of Toledo's locations and offers 100/20 Mbps at 27.1%. T-Mobile reports 49.7%, at 100/20 Mbps for 11.2%. Amplex Wireless reports service at 40.1% of locations, and MetaLINK Technologies at 4.5%. Licensed fixed wireless at 100/20 Mbps from any provider is reported at 41.2% of locations, up from 9.6%² in 2022. At 0.3%¹ of locations, fixed wireless is the only service reported at 100/20 Mbps. Wireless capacity is shared on each tower sector, and carriers decide address by address who can sign up.

Subscriptions: fewer unconnected homes than in 2019, still more than most cities

A smaller share of Toledo households subscribe to internet service than in most large cities. In the Census Bureau's 2025 American Community Survey, 9.4% of Toledo households had no internet subscription (margin of error ±1.7 percentage points), a share that ranks tied for 14th highest among large cities and is above 6.7% for Ohio. In the 2019 survey it was 18.5% (±2.1 percentage points⁵), so the drop is larger than the margins of error. Another 14.6% relied only on a cellular data plan, and 73.1%⁴ subscribed to cable, fiber or DSL. These are survey estimates of households; the FCC figures count locations on one date.

Toledo beside Lucas County and Ohio's other large cities

Toledo has less fiber than Lucas County as a whole, and the largest share of single-wire addresses among Ohio's six largest cities. The table uses the same FCC release for every area and the 2025 survey for subscriptions.

The Ohio page maps every county; the city pages for Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati cover the state's other large networks, and the fiber guide explains how the FCC counts fiber.
